It can be hard to discuss EA ideas with non-EA people or just introduce them to the community. I have not yet found anyone (in the EA community) who can effectively communicate it's purpose, philosophy or why it's worth joining to people who aren't already in the mindset or have advanced degrees etc.
I know Jon Stewart is aligned with EA in many ways (animal welfare, AI safety, climate change action to mention a few) His unique ability to take somewhat boring, complex and polarizing issues and distilling them through a comedic filter to then present, educate and inspire others. I believe the community could benefit greatly by someone like this.
I think Jon Stewart would be a great speaker.
